Procurement of electronic book library materials (e-Book) is intended to pay attention to diverse library needs that need to be considered especially by library management officers, that the procurement of library materials does not only meet certain strata of society. But other groups or layers must be considered. Bearing in mind the Bandung City Government is designing a Child Friendly City (Child Friendly Library), an Innovative and Creative City namely the Library in the Box, Reading Carts and Mobile Libraries through the Hospitality Book activities.

Each library has a duty to build a diverse collection for the benefit of users. Information needs are given as well as user satisfaction depends a lot on the availability of collections in the library. Although the services provided are maximum, the visitors will not feel fulfilled if they are not supported by the collection needed. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an electronic book collection (e-Book) which aims to develop a good and balanced library collection.
